It struck me that a Powerstroke 2.8 converted Disco would be rather nice. Any idea where to buy one second hand?

Buy disco with shagged engine, spend about 5 grand on powerstroke motor, fit same.
I seriously doubt you'll find one already done, unless it bankrupted the owner in the process...
mind, there are probably some cheap ones with tired V8s in by now, or well-worn 200TDis.
Your main criterion would be the condition of the vehicle - it'd only be worth doing to a good'un.
I have an "M" reg 300tdi disco with no engine that would be ideal for this type of project. Make me an offer.

heh. it was Dave French who was speculating.
but yes, it would. What's happened to the engine?
I understand that the powerstroke is near enough direct swap for a 300, but I'd want to be sure of the condition of the gearbox and its output shaft.
I'll email you!
